If you swallow a pip, it could grow a tree inside of you!!
Crazy article up on ninemsn,
Some poor Russian thought he had a tumour growing inside his lung and when they operated on it, it was a f*****g Fir tree!! I think it is a result of Chernobyl Surgeons in Russia were astounded to find what they say is a 5cm fir tree growing inside a man's lung. http://images.ninemsn.com.au/resizer.aspx?url=http://news.ninemsn.com.au/img/2009/world/1505_lungtree_sp_lg.jpg&width=310 Source |

hmm, how was photosynthesis possible? sure a seed can germinate in darkness but that uses the limited supply of energy packaged within it, after that it needs light. |

maybe he stuck a lightsaber up his arse?

i'm glad they got to the root of the problem anyway.

Take a leaf out of his book, don't swallow (or inhale) your seeds. |

doctors have now decided to leave it as is.

looking like they will have to BRANCH out into SPLINTER factions of the ARBOR-TREE medical FIELDS.
when questioned, the man said he is just STICKING up for himself and by HEDGING his bets and he felt he WOODnT be CUT out of the decision making. He was KNOT going to MILL over the PAPER work any longer so no use BARKING about it any further. last edited by sleepy at 12:53:16 15/Apr/09 |

I heard at the next tennis tournament he was the number one seed.

he couldnt cedar tumor for the forest That's right, I went there. |

sorry mate. didnt mean to offend you.
i was doing it for my benifit as i typed. trying to work at the same time. trying to make some sense of it in between work. i like how people use the 'WE get it' and such. |

I notice the tree is a bit green - photosynthesis anyone?
oh yeah and, I bet it rooted his lung |

I'll give him an A for effort that's for sure.

Man!
The lengths people will go to hide the fact they are seeding something they shouldn't have... |

it caused quite a buzz that it had beeeen there for sometime

I guess his girlfriend took it the wrong way when he told her she no longer gave him wood.

A plant can grow a surprising amount without sun light. Also photosynthesis uses sunlight to eventually remove the Carbons from CO2 to make sugars. A plant can grow without photosynthesis as long as it is supplied with the sugars it needs. Providing this story is true, perhaps the plant and person had the right combination of enzymes to allow the sugars to be converted and used just enough to grow. Eww. |

You seem to know a bit about growing plants in total darkness there toll. Should we be curious as to what's in your basement? :p

Providing this story is true, perhaps the plant and person had the right combination of enzymes to allow the sugars to be converted and used just enough to grow.This was in the lung. The seed must have been tiny to get into his lungs and on top of that needed the energy to grow to 5 cm with tiny branches. No way this is real. That doesn't even look like a lung. |

swallow... I believe it would be "inhale."
..and da-amn! |
11:19pm 15/04/09 Permalink
5cm isn't that big, and all plants really need are a source of energy (e.g sugar), a nitrogen source and a bunch of ions - all of which could be found in the blood (which there is plenty of in the lungs).
Not saying I believe the story, but it is possible |

There is blood in the lungs? I don't think so...
edit: after 2 seconds of googling it seems there are blood capillaries in your lungs but I doubt a plant would be able to again access to that surely last edited by fpot at 23:29:03 15/Apr/09 |

A plant can grow a surprising amount without sun light. A germinated seed in 24hr darkness will be taller than that germinated in ~13h of daylight or whatever we are having at the moment. Our skin and tissues also have transparent qualities. There is blood in the lungs? I don't think so... Red blood cells are oxygenated blood which is what our lungs are for. |

Actually, imagine if he had inhaled tobacco plant seed(?)/pollen. It would definately have been cancer...

the doctors must have touched wood while operating

I know there are blood vessels in the lungs but there isn't just blood floating around in there.

so...when I eat things...it goes into my lungs? Good to know.
